: No its not dangerous. You should have a trap on this shower. can you pry the cover off the drain and shine a light to see if you do in fact see water. I hope you do. Dale's Plumbing Service LMP

Yes, there was water in there, so I assume I have a trap thingie. I read your answer to my other post about this (somehow I posted 3 times accidentally) and I followed your advice. It worked! THANKS so much.
